Scentwork Classes

INTRO TO SCENTWORK with Bernadette

Tuesdays 6:30 PM - 7:30 PM - 6 week sessions, $145 per session

Jan 27 - Mar 3, 2026 REGISTER

  • Scentwork for dogs is a fun, confidence-building activity that uses their powerful sense of smell to find hidden odors, mimicking professional detection work. Beginners start with simple "find it" games, gradually increasing difficulty by hiding items in different locations, using scent boxes, and teaching the dog to give a clear "alert" (like sitting or pawing) when they find the target smell. It strengthens the bond, provides mental stimulation, and can be done anywhere with minimal equipment. 

​

ADVANCED  SCENTWORK with Bernadette

Tuesdays 7:45 PM - 8:45PM - 6 week sessions, $145 per session

Jan 27 - Mar 3, 2026 REGISTER

  • This advanced Scentwork class builds on the foundational skills, teaching dogs to find target odors (birch, anise, clove) in increasingly complex environments (elevated, inaccessible, paired with distractions) across all four elements (interior, exterior, vehicles, container), preparing them for competition and enhancing their independent searching and problem-solving abilities with advanced hide placements and complex scenarios.
